Sunrun South LLC currently has 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This pending work is a component of the company's strategy within the mechanical systems sector. The prosecution is being conducted through 1 distinct art unit, ensuring that the review follows the established protocols for that technical field.
The examiner assigned to this work is GARFT, CHRISTOPHER, who is the busiest examiner for the company with 1 pending office action. With 1 distinct examiner overseeing the application, the prosecution remains highly centralized. This centralization means that the examiner's individual approach to the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems field will be the primary influence on the outcome.
For the practitioner, the focus should be on the specific feedback from GARFT, CHRISTOPHER. Since there is 1 pending office action, the prosecution strategy does not need to account for multiple examiner styles. Instead, the goal is to satisfy the requirements of the 1 distinct examiner and the 1 distinct art unit to achieve an allowance.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
